    Nice new remodel, friendly hostess but, unfortunately, very unattentive & destracted servers. Waited too long to serve drinks, never checked on us between courses. Seems they are still working out sole staffing kinks since the recent re-opening. Will give it another chance in the near future…

    We had a great experience at North Beach Restaurant. The food was amazing - I thoroughly recommend the 7 layer lasagna! And our server was great. I thoroughly recommend this gem.

    A Wonderful Return to North Beach Restaurant From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the maître d’, Marcello, who was incredibly kind and genuinely appreciative of our first visit back since the restaurant’s reopening. His welcome set the tone for a great evening. We were escorted to our table and introduced to our waiter, Nino, who was exceptionally attentive and knowledgeable. He offered thoughtful recommendations, including the standout cocktail Revivere #2 — a must-try! Dinner was outstanding — every dish was prepared beautifully and full of flavor. The service, ambiance, and overall experience were all top-notch. We’ll absolutely be back again soon!

    Great food, great and warm service, excellent martini, elegant yet comfortable/cozy ambiance. And a sublime cannoli to cap it all off. What more could one ask for.

    Not authentic Italian enough. Waiter was bossy and rushed us. Zero sub allowed therefore almost no pasta without meat or mushroom. The one singular chicken dish was very basic and not flavorful and too thick. I'd prefer a mom and pop local.

    We have been going to North Beach Restaurant for many years and it’s a family favorite. They have updated the menu a little and it doesn’t disappoint. Our favorite was the Gnocchi with truffles, we ordered one as an appetizer for the table. Everything was delicious! The service is impeccable.
